I was wondering, could you get a base Debian system installed by downloading from <debian>/dists/potato/main/disks-i386/current/: base2_2.tgz images-1.44/rescue.bin images-1.44/root.bin Then install the rest of the system when I get networking configured? Also, how do you rebuild the package listings? Is there a quick way of rebuilding Packages and Packages.gz? Arthur H.
